In November 2021, as a collective of a dozen people, we started our activities by cooking together, supporting each other in learning Polish, and solving legal problems. Two years ago we started dreaming of our own restaurant and social center. Now, we are one step away from fulfilling our dream! Today, there are more than 60 cooperative members from 15 different countries. Since March 2022, we have created 40 new jobs for refugees from Ukraine, Belarus, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Philippines, Nigeria, Russia, Syria and Chechnya. We are building a community based on solidarity, acceptance, mutual support, and we share resources. We are learning how to make decisions collectively and equally, how to share responsibility, build self-agency and subjectivity.One of our most important missions is to create secure jobs for people who are excluded from the labor market. We work under employment contracts. We respect and value the contribution of each person working in the cooperative, which is why the difference between the lowest and highest salaries is only 20%. We give everyone access to medical care and have organized finance training for team members. We have also introduced menstrual leave. Furthermore, people with migrant experience can benefit from free legal support and the help of assistants who support not only in dealing with official matters, but also finding housing, making medical appointments, arranging interpreters, or addressing cases of discrimination.
